Miley Cyrus taped an episode of MTV's Unplugged last night, which will air tonight, and her special guest was none other than Madonna. The two wore matching cowboy hats and tongues lolling out of their mouths for the occasion.

The pair performed a mash-up of "Don't Tell Me" and "We Can't Stop." All of you Miley-purists (?) will be overjoyed to learn that she did indeed twerk a bit; she also ground up on a giant horse, which is new.

"That was pretty fucking cool, you guys," Cyrus said afterwards. "It sounds
super-lame, but as a pop star it's pretty cool performing with
Madonna... Today was one of those days that it was really easy to get out
of bed." (Side note: I don't think anyone in the world thinks that "it's pretty cool performing with Madonna" sounds super-lame.) [E!]

Kanye West has settled out of court with the little racist shit whom he punched; he paid the young man $250,000, which has placated him. [TMZ]

In other Kanye news: urban legend has it that every time he is in the room with Anna Wintour, he is berating her for not putting Kim Kardashian on the cover of Vogue. (I personally think he probably has a ton of better things to talk about — like leather sneakers or something — but okay, sure.) [Radar]

Billy Ray Cyrus says that he would help young Justin Bieber recover from behaving like a complete turd by taking him down to Tennessee, where the pair would "go
up to the teepee, build a fire, step away and just, you know, maybe
take a break for a little bit, just think about what's important. Get
back to life. … Build a fire, count the deer and the hawks and relax a
little bit." Problem: solved. Someone get their people in touch! [Perez Hilton]

Just don't do it on Valentine's Day, because Bieber already has a (court) date planned. [ABC]

Perhaps for that very reason, the Biebs looked anguished on the beach whilst wearing a trash bag for pants. [DListed]

Taylor Swift calls her best friends a lot when she is on tour. Female friendship 4ever. [E!]
